Hi Experts!
We want to do technical upgrade of our NAV2013 (R1) database to NAV2016 (code will not be upgraded).
Is that possible in one step or we have to go through path: NAV2013R2->NAV2015->NAV2016?
What is the quickest way to do that? (we need downtime as little as possible.
Thanks!

Are there any code changes required?
For example I have tried upgrade to NAV2013 R2 and debugger pages has changed and needed some fixes to work. Any other experience with code?
Thanks!
Take a look to this guide:

Please reconsider your idea of technical upgrade only.

1. Convert the NAV 2013R2 database to NAV 2016 compatible database (as described in
the Database upgrade section).
2. For Merge tool, you will need three files i.e. old base (NAV 2013R2 standard DB objects),
Target base (NAV 2016 standard DB objects) and Old Customize (NAV 2013R2 upgraded
customer DB objects).
3. Upgrade the Application Code using Merge tool.
4. Once the application objects have been merged with target version, import the merged
text file in the BASE of target version i.e. 2016 base.
5. Compile all the objects and remove the error if there is any.
6. Once all the objects have been compiled, export all the objects in FOB format.
7. Import the upgraded fob to the client’s converted database.
8. While importing if you are facing any error of “Not dropping the column as data exist”
then remove the data in this field from both companies and then reimport the fob file.
9. Once all the upgraded objects fob importing has been done compile all the objects.
10. If there is no error, your database has been upgraded to NAV2016.
